In 2022, Tony Young — whose nudist affiliations include Oahu Sun Club and Hawaii Skinnydippers, and who was co-administrator of a Facebook page appropriating the name of Nikki Craft’s own long-running Nudist Hall of Shame project — published an article titled "Nikki Craft is a Paranoid Fearmongering Bitch," arguing her documentation of predatory behavior in the nudist/naturist movement was obsolete. This Part II examines that claim against the page’s own public record: repeated named removals for sexual misconduct; Dario Western’s admission that Craft’s work exposed "questionable characters"; Young’s own acknowledgement that sexual offenders remain dangerous and his proposals for detection, removal, information-sharing, rehabilitation, and even consultation with "reformed sex offenders"; Young’s nudist film projects, including planned references to children, family naturism, and "growing up nudist" that his own investors instructed him to remove; his film The Photographer, which frames naturism through morality, temptation, and hedonism; the Troma Entertainment horror/exploitation context in which Micky’s Summer Resort premiered; and Young’s own graphic violent-fantasy writing on his personal blog. Young has also written that women’s voices are rarely heard and that young people hardly ever give interviews to the press, an acknowledgement that adds another contradiction to his attack on Craft’s documentation. The record does not establish criminal intent and this article makes no such claim. It does establish a documented question of judgment while showing that Young’s own statements repeatedly concede the continuing safety concerns he labels paranoid when Craft documents them.
